Any recommendations for the above? TIA.
Careful BMWs are aspirational. People on here will genuinely hold it against you for owning one.
Aspirational to some
Dog schoite to many
Really? What gives you that impression? I've always liked their balance and handling even on the most basic cars.Aspirational to some

I'm not so sure anymore. The engineering is top drawer. The handling is good and it's no longer the case were the base model is stupidly under equipped and needs thousands of pounds with of extras. It's one big advantage: that it sold mainly RWD cars is being eroded now AWD is becoming the norm but I still really like them.Overpriced for what you get, was always my opinion.
Ah that'll be why you don't get it.Some people like spending their money on expensive cars which is totally understandable. They get a lot of enjoyment out of them too.
To me - it is a car.
When people starting talking about ‘build’, ‘handling’ and ‘balance’ I have no idea what they mean and why it makes any difference from getting from A to B.
BMW are very good marketeers tho
BMW cars always seemed over priced to me. Audi is similar but not quite as expensive. My first SEAT did 83k miles in nearly 8 years, with just a electric window motor plus tyres and wipers. The second one has needed a couple items in 6.3 years. so not excellent reliability like the first one, however it was £9k brand new/first owner. A similar spec Audi was £17k and BMW £23k.
Sometimes the authorised BMW dealers do service offers which look reasonable. If your BMW is still under guarantee I would use authorised dealership, it keeps the value of the car up and avoids any potential disputes about any work required under guarantee.
